Default vibration dampers for pads. With or without ?

Hi guys,

Question for you GT owners. I am removing my pccb set up to steel set up. I did notice my car do not have the vibration dampers fitted on the front. Is it an obligation to fit some new one or can I run the car without? Been doing 2500 miles since I bought the car and pads didn't make any noise at all ...
Thanks for your help.

They don't have vibration dampers like for example my car (Carrera GTS) or other Carrera's. The vibration damper is those weight on the stock pads. For track/race pads they don't come with these weight and there is no need to worry about them. Just keep those little yellow pucks on the pistons in place...be careful too. I highly suggest getting the parts to lock these pucks in place. Eddie on this form (Orbit Racing) can get them for you or since I see you are in the UK try Manthey Racing.

No vibration dampers on my car. Threw them out at the first pad change.
